Transcripts
there are three main things that you
need to understand to making viral
content on Instagram and if you can get
good at these three things it will feel
like you're just printing millions of
views your account will explode and
massive Brands will be offering you
thousands of dollars in sponsorships how
do I know this works because within just
a little over a year I was able to take
my Instagram account from 20,000
followers to now over 230,000 followers
with this strategy right here and with
this explosion of growth I got to work
with and create content for some of the
biggest brands like Sony Honda and
Google just to name a few I even got to
travel around the world to work on some
amazing projects for me taking Instagram
seriously and creating short form
content was probably one of the best
decisions I've ever made because it took
my brand and business to an entirely new
level and changed my life but if I were
to start from the very beginning from
scratch with zero followers these are
the most important crucial things that I
would do right away in order to build up
a successful Instagram account again and
I'm going to be taking some of the core
elements from my Instagram Creator
Academy and try to condense it into five
core topics that I would do right away
the first one is going to be
understanding the algorithm now assuming
that this is something that you're
serious about and this is something that
you actually want to make a living out
of the very first thing that you need to
understand is the game of Instagram and
once you understand what the game is
that we're playing here you'll
understand why certain videos will get
millions of views and why certain videos
won't and the number one thing to
understanding the Instagram algorithm is
that it only cares about keeping the
user on the platform for as long as
possible and you might be asking why
exactly do they care about this well
because the more time that you spend on
this platform the more ads that you end
up watching and the more money that they
make from these ads and the owner of
meta Mark Zuckerberg said this himself
there will always be a version of
Facebook that is free in order to do
that we believe that we need to offer a
service that everyone can afford and
we're committed to doing that well if so
how do you sustain a business model in
which users don't pay for your service
Senator we run
ads that's why social media is highly
addictive it's purposely designed in a
way to get you glued to your phone and
to keep you coming back have you ever
noticed that whenever you feel like
taking a break and you think to yourself
oh you know maybe I'll just scroll on
social media for a few minutes so you
start scrolling but before you know it's
an hour or even two hours have flown by
and you've just been scrolling non-stop
that is done on purpose this is exactly
what the algorithm is designed to do and
understanding that this is the game that
we're playing here will allow you to
strategize and then formulate your
content in a way to increase audience
retention in watch time and essentially
increase your chances of hitting the
algorithm so now that we understand that
watch time and audience retention is the
number one key factor in what the
algorithm wants because it wants us to
stay in the platform for as long as
possible the next thing that we need to
tackle is how can we formulate our viral
content around this concept by knowing
this there is a way to set up and
structure your content that will give
you much higher chances of getting
millions of views now I cover this
extensively in about a 2hour long
segment in my Instagram creat a course
but to just summarize it when it comes
to formulating viral content there are
three main things that you need to
understand that's going to be the idea
The Hook and the value starting off with
the idea rather than spraying and
praying random content hoping to go
viral you can actually pinpoint and have
a general idea of what will do better
over the other and why this is so
important is because you can be more
time efficient and not waste all your
time and effort filming and editing a
video based on a bad idea that will just
flop you want to know where to put your
effort in time so you can actually see
some results so learning how to come up
with good ideas for your Niche is very
important in that regard now moving on
to the hook and I think the Hook is so
important that this is what will either
make or break your viral re and could be
the difference of you getting a th000
views or a million views on your video
I'm not even kidding it's really that
important with the nature of CHR content
and the thousands of reals being
uploaded every single day competing for
everyone's atttention naturally users
will have much shorter attention spans
on this platform and it's not even just
the digital space that you might be
competing with there are also other real
life things that might be going on for
that viewer that you're also competing
against that is why it is so important
that you stimulate your viewer the
moment that they scroll onto your post
and grab their attention and
unfortunately because of this it doesn't
really matter how talented of a
filmmaker or photographer you are if you
start off your content way too slow and
boring your viewer will actually end up
just scrolling away before it even gets
to the good part failing to understand
understand this and formatting your
content in a way that will hook your
viewer could be the reason why no one is
noticing your content and this is why
you might see so many talented
videographers and photographers might
not get the recognition that they
deserve and while on the other hand you
might see other C photographers
exploding now the next thing that we
need to cover is going to be the value
and this is sort of like the cherry on
top in order to create the perfect viral
video on Instagram the other really
important thing that you should also be
aware of besides the number of views is
going to be how many follow followers do
you actually get from that viral video
sure you might have gotten a million or
even 2 million views on that particular
video but maybe you only got 100
followers out of it so that is why you
need to deliver something that your
viewer really finds valuable and also
maintain that value throughout all of
your other content so that when a new
viewer checks out your Instagram feed
and you know just watch all of your
other content they'll most likely follow
you because they recognize that you are
providing so much value with all of your
other content that is why that I say
that it might be better to focus on
delivering high quality content rather
than quantity over the long run even
though it might take you a little longer
to deliver on those higher quality
videos and even if it means that you're
posting less so now that we've
established a direction and sort of a
strategy when it comes to formatting our
content the next thing that we're going
to need to tackle is how to actually
bring those ideas to life which is why
the third step that I would do if I were
starting a new Instagram would be
learning how to film and even better if
I could film cinematic footage Instagram
has always been a very visually dominant
platform and it's the primary platform
for most videographers and photographers
which is why cinematic videos
photography and usually aesthetic
visuals in general just tend to do
really good on Instagram I know a lot of
you guys who have been following me are
in the photo and video world but even if
you're not and you're in a different
Niche learning how to film high quality
footage is a easy way to separate
yourself from the competition and
improve your video quality I think that
if you are proficient in capturing
cinematic visuals Instagram is a gold
mine for the style of content like I
said since Instagram is such a
concentrated platform of visual artists
just by filming a few breathtaking
cinematic shots and creating a short
sequence out of that can lead to
millions of views so personally I would
spend a lot of time on learning the
fundamentals of capturing beautiful
breathtaking cinematic visuals things
like what camera you should use camera
settings understanding lighting how to
compose a shot learning the different
camera movements and understanding your
frame rates to name a few but once you
get this down it will feel like you're
printing millions of views whenever you
take your camera out to capture content
now obviously after learning how to film
we're going to need to learn how to edit
another part of the puzzle that really
led to my success is being able to edit
extremely fast knowing how to cut to the
Beats how to color grade to get
cinematic colors how to edit short form
retention based videos and also knowing
how to repurpose a lot of my content and
turn one video into five different
videos or even more in some cases and
when I say editing I don't mean editing
on your phone I mean editing on your
computer in order to be more efficient
sure editing on your phone on the native
Instagram app can be okay for you know
some basic reels but when you want to
get a little bit more creative with your
edits with more complex Cuts adding
visual effects adding in cinematic color
grading or if you're working with over
20 to 100 different video files you're
definitely going to need to take that
editing into your computer in order to
take it up a notch not only will you
just be able to create better videos
like this but you'll save so much more
time and be able to edit so much more
faster and efficiently so that you can
use that time to actually spend it on
more important things like spending time
with your family or friends trust me
once you make the switch over to editing
on your computer you will never want to
go back to editing on your phone it will
be like night and day in terms of how
much faster you can get things done so
if you're still on the fence about
editing short from content on your
computer and you know you're still using
your phone just give it a shots I
promise you'll be able to get way more
creative with your edits you'll be able
to make more higher quality videos and
also you'll be able to pump out a lot of
the is much faster now the very last
thing that I would do if I were starting
a new Instagram account is that I would
learn how I could actually monetize my
millions of views and thousands of new
followers unfortunately Instagram has
removed the Creator bonus program and
Instagram isn't paying a single penny to
any creators anymore which means that
even if you were to get millions of
views and thousands of new followers
that doesn't necessarily mean that
you're making any money off of it
Instagram isn't like YouTube where they
pay you an ad Revenue so you'll have to
find other means of monetizing those
millions of views and thousands of new
followers now obviously there is quite a
lot of different things here that you
need to get good at in order to build up
a successful Instagram account which can
be extremely timec consuming but if you
build a strategy and a process to
improve the speed of things like idea
generation creating hooks becoming more
efficient in both filming and editing
repurposing your content and then
monetizing your content it will make the
process drastically easier and quicker
while also allowing you to pump out high
quality content that will allow you to
get viral videos to turn this Instagram
thing into a full-time living those are
the five things that I would try to get
good at right away if I were to start up
an Instagram from scratch and that's
exactly what I teach inside of my
Instagram Creator Academy in my Academy
I have over 50 plus lessons and six plus
hours of contents covering how to build
up a successful Instagram account
everything from understanding and
leveraging the Instagram algorithm how
to then formally borrow content to
consistently get millions of views a
step-by-step process of how to film
breathtaking cinematic vision visuals
like I do editing extremely fast and
efficient for short form media and then
monetizing your account in order to make
the most out of your millions of views
and to finally be able to go full-time
and Achieve that location freedom and
time Freedom along with it and so much
more all inside one organized online

in my course I basically lay out my
exact blueprint in a step-by-step

success I also do have a 30-day money
